Does anyone know how long the current cast is planning on staying on Broadway? I'm thinking of going in late September and am hoping the cast is the same.
Word on the street is the current cast will extend for at least a few more months.
Very excited that this group will be the one to break the "one year" trend, if so. Seen them twice on Broadway and it's some of the best singing I've ever heard onstage.

100%. I’m not a huge fan of SIX, but the current cast has the best chemistry I’ve seen from any group of queens in this show’s brief history. And the singing, of course, is off the charts.
funny for this to pop up today- friends from Spain are in town and insisted they had to see Moulin Rouge, so I was back for my third visit to that boring show- some highs (Andre Ward, Derek Klena's take on the role) and some lows (overall energy, Derek Klena's voice struggled a whole bunch) but
Hailee Kaleem Wright was a simply fantastic Satine. I mean, just a fully realized, rock solid performance with insane vocal runs/power. Light years better than Olivo or that Australian woman who reopened the show post Covid--who was fine but couldnt overcome this horribly written silly role. Hailee Kaleem Wright *does* and I was blown away.
(this SIX cast seems like an incredible unit, but i do think Bella Coppola, Nasia Thomas and Taylor Iman Jones are hard for anyone to top).
Yesterday the current Boleyn tour cast played their final performance and the tour is going on a three month hiatus. I was lucky enough to see this cast and they were absolutely fabulous.
It remains to be seen if the tour will resume with a brand new cast or if some queens will return.

You need to see the current Broadway Queens. They're my favorite. Chemistry, funny, voices- they're perfect
Khaila Wilcoxon will play her final performance as Catherine of Aragon on November 24.
No word yet on when Jasmine Forsberg will depart for OLD FRIENDS.
Someone told me the original Boleyn Tour girls will eventually come to Broadway, but Zan Berube is touring with BACK TO THE FUTURE and Aline Mayagoitia is expected to make her Broadway debut in REAL WOMEN HAVE CURVES.

Friends with someone on that tour, and unless she's tight lipped or wasn't asked back -- haven't heard anything about this.
I'm just here so I don't get fined
Audra Gypsy show watch count: 2
Dream Rose Replacements: Sheryl Lee Ralph
Jasmine Forsberg will depart on January 12, Didi Romero will play her final performance on February 9, and the other current queens - excluding the alternates - depart on February 17.
I'm thinking they'll use alts for Seymour and Howard until an all-new group of queens starts together on February 19. Majority of the original Boleyn Tour cast coming over???

Aline isn’t in the listed cast for Real Women Have Curves on Broadway. Sydney Parra is in Teeth, so it’s possible we could get Aline and a different Boleyn. I can foresee a future where most of the former Boleyn cast (Gerianne, Amina, Terica, Aline, and probs Adriana) actually do come to Broadway.
Watts and Sibal are both former contestants on "The Voice" and Hernandez played Cleves in the Canadian production; all three are making their Broadway debuts.

I saw Krystal as Cleves in Toronto and she was truly spectacular! Love seeing some new talent!
